Yes the wing is a little large. What other wings are out there that would look good,. I could just take it off and put tabs on the holes. I like the wide flares the most.

Mariah offers the same wing but not as high or one of the Wangan style wings might look good. I have the factory stock wing on my Mariah.

What you have is the mode 6 tall wing that they have listed for $829

Here's the mode 5 wing which is similar just shorter in height, they list it for $411


Here's a shot of the Wangan style wing, hit up the link.

I think if one is personally made happy by owning a rarity and a piece of history, then this adds an increased value for them. This is a really cool find, congrats!

Need to keep some of the creature comforts. You never know when you will need the A/C and starting to get weak in the knees for a comfy seat. Rearding the wing I may just remove it and put painted tabs on it. Hard to find any other good looking rear spoilers. Wangan is ok... once the new turbo kit goes on it I am sure some of lines may get changed around.

I feel the same way. Nice to have a car you can drive in all weather and some distances. Little extra power is all you need to over come a few creature comforts.

Hey Elliot how much of a temperature drop and turbo response will this be making .I assume with this and the coating the engine bay will just warm. Hehe

May i know who's doing the works on the motor ? and do mind if i ask how much did it cost u so far? Mine was done at RRR but i'm not happy with it, i'm thinking of bigger turbo, the one i had on mind is greddy TDO6SH-20G, it only put out 300hp. I spent 4k on paint, 3600.00 on rebuild engine, and 6k on accessories (exhaust, injectors, haltech ECU, hardness...)
